Thank you so much for your amazing review! I’m absolutely thrilled you had such a peaceful and welcoming stay — and I love that you soaked up all the family-friendly, pet-loving charm of the cabin and campground. 🐾⛺️
You totally got the vibe we’re going for: a place where everyone, from toddlers to tail-waggers, feels right at home. 😄 I’m already looking forward to welcoming you back — whether it’s for another relaxing getaway or a fun-filled adventure, your happy place is waiting for you!
Don’t be a stranger — the cabin misses you already! 💚

It's always our goal to provide a welcoming and comfortable experience for our guests, and we're delighted that we could exceed your expectations. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!
Just what my family and I needed! Cozy quarters brought us back together again. Really enjoyed having a real fire going during Christmas. We definitely will be back again!
The place was great. Clean and friendly people all around. Didn’t like the master mattress but that might have been because we aren’t use to that type of mattress. Definitely coming back.

Thank you so much for the 5-star love! 🎉 I'm so glad you found the place clean and surrounded by friendly vibes — that's always the goal! Sorry the master mattress wasn’t quite your style... I totally get that sleep is a personal thing (mattresses are like pizza toppings — everyone’s got a favorite 😄). But hey, I’m thrilled to hear you’re planning to come back! Can’t wait to host you again — next time, maybe the mattress will grow on you... or maybe you'll be too busy relaxing and having fun to even notice 😉. Until then, travel happy!
We went to get a quick weekend away. Everyone at the campground was very friendly and pleasant. We had a great time. Cabin was cute cozy and clean. Staff was amazing and helpful. Will go back to stay longer.

Thank you I will let my staff know as well. Hope to see you guys again.
As always great stay, great responsive hosts. There were 6 of us, 3 adults and 3 kids. If this cabin is designed for 6 people I would recommend the host to add 3 chairs to the dining table. Otherwise everything worked great!

Thank you for the continued support and for choosing to stay with us again. I’m glad to hear everything worked well for your group and that the cabin served your family comfortably.
I truly appreciate the constructive feedback regarding the dining table seating. That’s a helpful suggestion, especially for larger groups, and I’ll be taking a closer look at adding additional chairs to better accommodate future guests.
You’re always welcome back, and I look forward to hosting you and your family again on your next visit.
Spotless, cozy cabin with everything you needed. Fire pit, Grill, covered hot tub, store, laundry, picnic table all within steps of the cabin. Super quiet at night with nothing but the beautiful sound of the river just a stone’s throw away. The windowed porch at the entrance was very convenient as well. And whatever you needed that you didn’t have, the town of Elkins was just up the road less than 15 minutes away while still giving you the enjoyment of a remote river canyon. Can’t say enough good things about this place. So well located near so many amazingly beautiful places that we took advantage of.

Thank you for such a fantastic and detailed review. I’m really glad the cabin delivered everything you needed and that the setup from the fire pit and grill to the covered hot tub and nearby amenities made your stay easy and enjoyable.
The quiet nights by the river are something special, and I’m glad you were able to experience that peaceful setting. The windowed porch is one of those features guests end up loving more than they expect, so it’s great to hear it came in handy for you.
I also appreciate you highlighting the location. Being close to Elkins while still feeling tucked away in a remote river canyon is exactly the balance we aim for, and it’s wonderful to hear you were able to explore and take advantage of so many beautiful nearby spots.
Thank you again for the kind words. You’re always welcome back, and I’d be glad to host you again for another mountain getaway.
The cabin was comfortable, clean and accommodated all of us. Big fluffy towels and soft comfy beds with more than enough blankets. Kitchen was well stocked with high quality items to cook and eat with. Bunk beds were nice and sturdy. VERY quiet!!! Would definitely recommend and will rent again if back in the area. 5 stars all the way!!!!

thanks so much for your kind words. renting to the public is hard sometimes. you buy really nice things and they get stolen or misused and but cheap things and they break so easy. Very hard business to be in. please come back and see us.

We took day trips to places that were within a days drive. Good central location. Even made it to harpers ferry one day. The foliage was turning and beautiful!
Nice place to stay! Great owners and my family enjoyed our stay

we did enjoy having you this past weekend and everyone seemed to have great fun but we found 3 different piles of dog poop in the bedrooms. right under the edge of the beds. maybe a smaller dog. one was very runny and made quite the mess for housekeeping. I will waive extra cleaning fees but we ask no more pets with your rentals. I did take pictures.
thanks again and take care
Everyone who worked at the campground was very pleasant! Beautiful scenery!
Overall it was a pleasant stay. I was traveling with my elderly parents and my father had difficulty maneuvering around in the bathroom. The bathroom was small for anyone with any type of disabilities. This was an oversight on my part, because I didn't ask. We really enjoyed playing games on the porch!!
My 3 kids and I came for spring break. With working from home and my kids doing virtual learning, we needed to get away! We are new to WV and came from Martinsburg. What a beautiful drive! It was so nice to get to explore our new state! When we arrived we went to check in to the camp store and was greeted by the owner. She was very friendly and check in was smooth. I forgot a few things and was able to purchase them at the store. Very nicely stocked and even had a mini library for their guests to borrow books during their stay. Our cabin was clean, fresh linens and nice fluffy towels. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were clean and functioning. We weren't able to use the grill outside as it was rotted out at the bottom, but we used the fire pit instead. Our hot tub was clean and had a nice seating area inside. The playgrounds were in good shape as well as the basketball court. The volleyball net wasn't put up just yet but I think because it's opening season. The ducks onsite were too cute. They liked to walk around the campsite and had no problem coming right up to you. Lots of areas to go fishing. The mountain views are breathtaking! Since we came early in the season, it was still quiet. I would love to return during the summer months when it is busy and the rafts are available to rent for the river. Speaking of river, the water was so clear and peaceful to hear at night! As far as safety, I am a single mom and totally felt safe at night! "I am so jealous of your trip, it looks awesome there" is the reaction I got from my Instagram posts! Some have already booked their vacations here. Overall, a great experience! We can't wait to return!
My family and i had a wonderful stay. Everyone was so nice that we came across. Perfect weather. Loved the cabin and the hot tub! Would definitely come back
We had an amazing weekend in Rainbow 3. Everything was clean and the owners were easily accessible for contact. This cabin was the perfect size for our group and we’re already talking about coming back.
This was the perfect place to stay for our mini getaway. It was a great location. Super clean. Great water pressure (rare for cabins!) Host was available around the clock for all our questions. Would stay again!

thanks for your patience for your brief outage. You both were very understanding. I should have stayed for some hot chocolate. LOL
this was a very enjoyable trip. IT was so much fun having our first big snow event while staying. It is beautiful . the river is so beautiful and mountains. Dogs were happy. We want to go back again. but the queen bed was not a good bed it sagged and we could only sleep one in it, but it was worth it to get such a terrific trip.
